We’ve had lots of fun this morning taking part in activities across the school to celebrate Kingland’s 10th birthday.

Here is our Kingsland acrostic poem:

Kicking balls in the MUGA

I love reading!

Numbers, numbers, numbers!

Great fun at PE

School is awesome

Learning signalong

Amazing art

Never stop learning

Deeds not words!

This morning we celebrated Kingsland’s 10th Birthday in the new school building.   We had mixed classes from P1 to P7 and were all with different teachers.

I enjoyed designing and colouring a cake for the school’s birthday.  Rana

I enjoyed the musical corners game even though I was the first one out.  Rayyan

I enjoyed playing charades at the end of the session.  Oliver J

I liked being in a mixed group and made a friend called Matthew.  Thomas

I was with Mrs Collins and enjoyed flipping and fish along the corridor.  Sam

I enjoyed playing charades and acting out Beauty and the  Beast.  Charlie

I enjoyed making the football pitch themed cake.  Oliver R

I enjoyed playing musical bumps.  Daniel

This week we have been exploring algebra. We have looked at the patterns and pictures, rather than numbers, that help us understand maths and be able to apply it in different areas. We have discovered that we all see and solve problems in different ways.

P5 looked at the language, landscapes and geography of Scotland – we did mapping (thinking about cities, towns , landmarks and rivers), different art work featuring Scottish landscapes, and wrote different texts in Scots.

Today we had DEAR time. It’s means Drop Everything And Read. We found comfy seats and enjoyed our books. Some of us like reading on our own and some of us like to read with a partner. 

Primary 6a have been learning about Buddhism. We have discovered that Buddhists meditate. This is a quiet time when you can clear your mind and reflect on life. Mrs Harrison loved this time as it was so quiet!

We have been learning about rationing during WW2. Today we looked at some commonly used recipes. We made and tasted a few. The carrot cookies were very popular but the sweet potato chocolate spread divided opinion!

Primary 6a finished painting their clay models and tiles this week and they are very proud of their finished work.

During our mini topic on Scottish geography and language we enjoyed experimenting with different media to create some beautiful Scottish landscapes. We read lots of texts in Scots and even had a go at writing our own.

Looks great fun and we heard lots of positive comments at home about learning to code.
